WINDOW-TROUGH.

Application filed November 30, 1914.

This invention relates to improvements in window attachments.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a simple and novel device for application to the window sill to prevent the entrance of snow or rain when the window is raised.

Another object is to provide a device of this character which is simple in construc tion and which can be quickly and easily applied to or removed from the window.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is effective to prevent entrance of rain or snow and which can be adjusted to window frames of different widths.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. 7

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a window casing showing the device in position thereon, Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same, the window being shown in section, Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 33 of Fig. 2, and Fig. +L is a perspec tive view of the frame-work of the device.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents the vertical side members of the window casing and 11 the stool of the sill. Disposed on the stool is the member 12 which has recesses 13 adapted to receive the members 10 therein. Attached to Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 874,814.

the member 12 are the inner ends of the outwardly extending hollow arms 1%. Slidably adjustable in the arms 14 are the inner ends of the arms of a substantially U-shaped member 15 which together with the arms 14: form the lower or base portion of the frame of the ventilator. Pivotally connected to the outer end portions of the arms 14 are the hollow arms 16 which receive slidably therein the arms of a vertical U-shaped frame 17.

hen the device is disposed on the window stool, as clearly shown in the drawing, the window can be raised to within a short distance of the upper end of the member 17, the fabric 20 thus preventing the entrance of rain or snow, while at the same time permitting air to enter the room.

By reason of the pivotal and slidable connections of the frames 15 and 17 with the arms 1-1 and 16 the device can be readily folded so that it will occupy a small space when stored away.

WVhat is claimed is:

l. A rain guard for a window comprising a window frame engaging member, a foldable frame carriedby the window engaging member, and a water proof bag carried by the frame.

2. A rain guard for a window comprising a member adapted to be secured to the window ledge inwardly of the window, a frame mounted on the window engaging member and projecting within the room, said frame being adjustable and foldable, and a water proof fabric secured to the frame and disposed to catch rain or snow which would pass through the open window.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
